Percy, if this were just about racism I would agree with you.
This isn't about righting a wrong or looking at the underlying or even the surface causes of racism.
All this is is more celebrity titillation. This whole event isn't much different from Lindsay Lohan getting caught on tape calling Paris Hilton a cunt.
If I felt that taking Michael Richards to task was going to do anything to stop racism, I'd take the opportunity to discuss this.
I just don't see it.
